Heart Lab - Resonance More Info
|
+ My Favorites Mar 16 to Mar 31 This work represents a new chapter in our ongoing exploration of the relationship between text and image. We like to think of our work as installation narratives, with ourselves, the artists, as main characters. As our setting changes, so does our focus. Resonance has been created in response and in relation to the surrounding simplicity of the foothills and prairies. This simplicity has inspired us to playfully represent the essence of words as sound, and image as space by creating a 3-dimensional diorama utilizing drawing, stamping, and sculptural methods.
Heart Lab is a collaboration between Anita Levesque and Bradley Smith. Both artists attended ACAD in Calgary, Alberta. They have been exploring apartments together for the past fifteen years; their travels seeing them coast to coast. Currently they live in Nelson, BC, where they continue their on-going effort to bring art into life, life into art.
Stride Gallery Address: 1004 Macleod Tr SE Calgary AB T2G 2M7
Conan Masterson: PEEP SHOW / +15 Window Project More Info
|
+ My Favorites Mar 16 to Mar 29 Peep Show blurs the boundaries between entertainer and entertained in a way that is both impulsively humorous and unsettlingly carnivalesque. Hundreds of anthropomorphic eyeballs dangle in the window, watching the passing parade. These ridiculous and unnerving objects put the viewers on the spot as the pupils fix upon the viewer, twisting the subject/object relationship into a “who sees who” game. Peep Show creates an absurd carnival of role shifting between performer and performance, which is discomforting, beguiling, and irresistible.
The +15 Window Project is located in the EPCOR Centre for the Performing Arts +15 pedestrian walkway, 235 - 9th Ave SE For more information about the +15 Window Project Space Submissions or Programming, contact the gallery.

Calgary Kiwanis Music Festival More Info
|
+ My Favorites Mar 16 to Mar 20 Encouraging classical and contemporary music and performance among amateur students of all ages and skill levels, the Kiwanis Music Festival is the longest running festival in Canada. Participants are given the opportunity to perform and compete in a variety of categories in front of a live audience.
We are excited to present our principle artists and their works: Lisa Heinricks, Nikki Gour, Roberta Murray and Ron Robinson. Each one of them strives to innovate in what they do through the process of creation and the medium.
Lisa is constantly pushing herself in new directions both on and off the canvas. Her work has been shown from the Prime Ministers Office in Canada to Florence Italy. She will be to the 21st Century what Pollock was to the 20th.
Nikki’s work is based on a unique personal interaction with found objects combined with her deep personal reflections on how she sees the world through life experiences, surroundings, thoughts, feelings, emotions and intuitiveness.
Roberta draws on her background as a fibre artist through the use of texture, form, and light. The result is images with a mystical quality as if taken at a different time or in a different world. Many of her images are heavily manipulated using multiple images to create a unique texture and depth.
Ron's art has tended to be a journey through inter-connected ideas and inspirations that have pushed in to a wide variety of media that include: sculpture in stone, wood, ceramic, metal, relief printing. He defines himself as a conceptual artist, dictating the medium of expression, often working in series in order to fully explore an idea.
We invite you to come and enjoy each piece and meet the artists at our opening reception as well as to see music being created by performance artist and ACAD Instructor Adan Tindale.
Endeavor Arts Address: 200-1209 1 St SW Calgary AB T2R 0V3
Encaustic, or painting with wax is an ancient technique using pigments melted with wax and fixed or fused to the painting surface with heat. Bigoudi prefers natural pigments and uses heavy cotton canvas as her painting surface. “It is the rich earthiness of the materials that inspires my process and choice of subject,” says Bigoudi. “I see encaustic painting as liquid finding form.”
Pascale Ouellet aka Bigoudi, is a juried member of the Society of Canadian Artists (SCA) and an active member of the Federation of Canadian Artists (FCA). She is the recipient of the 2009 Canmore Mayor’s Awards for Arts & Culture in the ‘Artistic Achievement’ category and is part of the Corridor Collective in Canmore, AB, where she has her own studio. Pascale's work can be found in private and corporate collections in the US and Canada.

Lindsey Love was born and raised in Bassano, Alberta and Graduated from ACAD in 2006. She left Calgary in 2008 to pursue a full-time painting career in Saskatchewan. It was there that she found her sanctuary amongst the magnificent fields and luminous skies. A young artist of just twenty-eight reveals a fresh style that impacts viewers and invites them to enter the moment and just be.” Lindsey has been a resident artist at Swirl Fine Art since its inception, and is now represented in galleries throughout Western Canada.
Growing up on the prairies has given Lindsey a particular aesthetic. She is drawn to subject matter that has a minimal, spacious and peaceful quality. Her desire is to create invitations to contemplation and to counter hastiness. “It is through contemplation that one becomes truly aware and open to life: to the beauty and transcendence in the ordinary. I paint what I know so that the truth of my own experience will resonate with the viewer, and will invite them to enter the moment and just be.”

This body of work is a study of urban environments and how humans create and are creative in these places.
Tomas Jonsson brings The Department of Public Walks, a subsidiary of the Ministry of Walking to the gallery, inviting participants to take part in a collaborative walking project that maps comfort zones of Calgary and explore various borders (either real or imagined). Walking is a strategy that can be employed to explore, confront, and address the conditions that enforce these borders.

A place, a feeling, a song, a building, a street corner, a memory, a recovery – OX: A Crash Course on Loving Calgary is ultimately a collection of stories about loving Calgary.
